    Getting disconnected from a VM after a while

    Your initial diagram showed the Opnsense WAN address as .29, hence my point above which you have now confirmed is not the case. The basic troubleshooting suggested so far you have dismissed quickly, so it indicates you are well versed in these matters. Perhaps you could outline what you have...

    Getting disconnected from a VM after a while

    Looking at the config above in relation to your first diagram, your management interface appears to be the same as your OpnSense WAN address unless your OpnSense WAN is pulling a different IP from the router and your first diagram does not show this? When testing my own config with different...

    Getting disconnected from a VM after a while

    OK the picture helps understand your setup a little. When you say your old laptop can connect I assume this is either using wireless via the home router or connected wired to that device? How have you configured the interfaces in ProxMox? You mention using it as a home lab so I assume you are...

    Getting disconnected from a VM after a while

    Hi, I am in no way and expert in network stacks but it looks like you are losing packets at some point in your infrastructure that requires a resend of an TCP packet which has exceeded the RTO. You probably need to start eliminating potential causes. I would start by plugging your laptop into...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Just posting back so others can be kept up to date. The Fan Header on the underside of the board near the front panel is NOT a GPU fan header type, bought a new cable with some small change and it wont fit as its too big , it does fit into the SATA pwr ports on the topside of the board. It may...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    I started small I plugged 1 cable into my device after installing proxmox using a monitor keyboard and mouse for initial Install and configured a static IP inside my current network subnet but outside my DHCP range. In promox I initially used a Linux Bridge,which passed through my physical...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hi I fully understand where you are coming from however my fallback is my existing router, if the hardware fails I'll plug that back in, also in most home situations most people tend to have an ISP supplied router with no failover. My fallback position from this if my existing dies as well...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hi Welcome. I am quite new around here as well and have been on a similar journey in the last month. You should be able to run multiple VM's on your device by virtualizing it I have ProxMox 8 installed on mine and run OpnSense in a VM along with an Omada controller running as an LXC...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thanks once again. I'll take a look at the link when I have a bit more time. Interestingly, my BIOS version is the same as yours (I incorrectly stated a date of 31/05 above, its actually the 07/05 which I assume is in american format so is sometime in July, difficult sometimes to work out as I...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thank you. My BIOS is dated 31/05 so I assume there have been a few iterations of the base BIOS code between models to fix some known bugs. Still awaiting Kingnovy sending the latest, but I might approach CWWK direct and give them my mainboard number and get them to supply me direct (its on of...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thank you, I'll purchase one of those and report back. In terms of USB C DP output what bios version do you have? I get 5 beeps like with the HDMI issue so assumed it won't work.

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hi, Unfortunately I don't have a storage device or network adapter to test, but there are thunderbolt settings in the BIOS. What I do know is that the type c does not do Alt DP for displays as I can't get an output on my monitor using that port so have to use Display Port to setup (have issues...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    So been doing a bit of research on cable, the standards seem a bit of a mess. From what I can deduce and Dupont 1.25 is the same as a JST 1.25 connector, this time with the JST indicating the manufacturer rather than the father of the port (happy to be proved wrong on this front by more...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thank you. Gone back on the posts and it seems to be a Dupont 1.25 4 pin female port. It also looks like finding a cable to standard fan is almost impossible. Are these ports the same as used on GPU's? They look similar but I think they may be different

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    That's good info to have, I'm always of the opinion though that the cooler you keep electronics the longer they tend to last. Interesting observation on my device from looking at the MB, there does not appear to be a fan header. There are 2 SATA pwr connectors on the board, is it possible to...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hi, I have the same issue with my Kingnovy device (type C 5 port variant), however there is a workaround as per @Becks0815 commands he posted earlier in the thread. I tweak the PL1 and PL2 settings for my setup, monitor them and then wrote a bash script so that they are applied on boot with...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Thank you. I will have a play with my settings. Looking for the most speed with least heat to keep the device running for years if possible. I'm also thinking about repasting the compound. I'd be grateful if you could provide some sort of guide on how to do this? I guess its along the lines...

    CWWK/Topton/... Nxxx quad NIC router

    Hi, Just like @edmonds I have a KingnovyPC model bought from Amazon UK which is the 5 port variant. I've setup Proxmox on it, have CPU frequency scaling enabled through the power save governor, currently practicing setting up an OpnSense VM to act as my router. I generally get good temps with...
